Nice car. I want to dye my dash and steering wheel black. Looks good, dog dishes look good on anything.

The steering wheel is such a pain in the ass though. No matter how many times you clean it, even with alcohol, the paint still winds up coming. Every month or so I have to keep repaintin it. The dash though came out real nice and it lasted so far.

nice I like the dash color. I see you don't have much of a driveway lol

updation

Here's a few updates:

I got around to takin a picture of the duals (and is there something missing udner here?):



Since the car was originally a single exhaust I used one of these hangers for the left side muffler:


I put a tach in finally. Its a 3 3/8" Summit tach that changes color at a press of a button:


I have it set at blue to match the rest of the i/p...


The tach was easy to hook up- 4 wires- yellow to battery +, red to a switched 12v source, black to ground and green to a tach output. I used the output on my 6AL:

nice tach is that a custom k&n warm air intake setup? also did you pick up your sway bar yet?

Yeah the intake was homemade. I used 3" pvc pipe and a K&N filter hooked up to the throttle body with the stock rubber elbow. I'm waiting to hear back from Freshmeat about the CS front bar and a PI rear bar.

I changed out the chrome trim too. If you look at this pic compared to my sig pic. I have a pic of all the trim laid out if I can find it I'll put it up.

Hey, man- none of the local shippers had a box big enough for the swaybars and in the process of trying to locate one I decided I'm keeping my Town Car... so it's getting the sway bars. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck in your hunt.
